To all whom iirmay cortcm: v

Be it known that I, PETER Bnnn'rrnna citizen of Switzerland, residing at Fleet street,

in the city of London, England, haveinvented a new and useful Improved Manufac-.

ture of Saponaceous Material for Washing Purposes, of which the following is a-specifi-' cation. 7

According to my invention I prepare a sapouaceous material or lessive for washing purposes as follows: To produce one hundred-weight of the saponaceous material, I take the following ingredients: 1, castor, L0; coa, or palm oil, six pounds; 2, giuus, seavieed, orsoaplmrry, four pounds; 3, silicage, of s a, 24 overproof, six pounds; I, resin or colophonium, powered, six pounds; 5, refined alkali, 48 overproof, fifty pounds; 6, oil of guirbane, four ounces; 7, calx chlorip at a, three pounds; 8, water, five galld'fisi o'f' these ingredients the fucus or soapberry is first allowed to simmer in from two to two and one half gallons of the quantity of water named for about six hours, after which the liquid is strained off. The ingredients 1 and 3 are then heated together in a separate vessel, and when they become amalgamated the above decoction is mixed with them. No. 7 is then dissolved in the remainder of the quantity of water namedthat is to say, either in two and one-half gallons or in three gallons, ac cording to the quantity usedwith the focus, and this solution is added to the previouslyformed compound, after which the whole is heated to boiling-point, whereupon ingredient N o. 4 is added, and the mixture is allowed to simmer until it becomes a kind of soapy paste. The mass having been thoroughly incorporated, ingredientNo. 5 is added and thoroughly stirred in. then passed through a metal strainer, after which ingredient No. 6 is added and thoroughly stirred in for about forty minutes, whereupon the compound is allowed to cool and solidify. 3

Although I prefer to use the materials in henr nqrtiomindica e tl,ilorot imitmy;

Having thus. described my I claim is better color and a pleasant odor imparted to This "compound is invention, what dients may be increased solas to obtain a stronger compound.- v

The lessiv or'detergent produced as above descr bedpossesses the advantages, among others, over ordinary soap or soda, that the the expenditure of washing material and of labor is less, no scrubbing being usually required, while the linen, silk, or flannel goods so treated will'last longer and will have a them. Not being in any way poisonous or detrimental to the hands or eyes, it may be used with perfect safety. It is also applicable with advantage for scrubbing floors, pictures, and picture-frames, and the waste water will tend to cleanse and purify and will not stop up the drains.

In usingthe lessive, the dirty linen, &c., is put in a tub with sufficient cold water to make it thoroughly damp. The lessive is then dissolved in boiling water in the copper to the extent of about one pound to every five gallons of water, and the linen being then introduced it is boiled for a few minutes, after which it is gently. robbed in the same water, and is finally rinsed in clean water.

For silk, flannel, and colored articles a small quantity of the lessive is dissolved in boiling water and used warm, the articles beand therefore I do not claimathe invention d scribed endeared; attainment-A don, W5.v 0. v l *1 J P. M. MILLARD', I CZei'kto AbeZ (Q'Imray, Patent Agents, 23
